the growing file is C:winnt\temp\temp37.tmp however this disapears when we stop the information store service?

Move your temp folder to a different partition.

Check event log.

I have moved it, it is still growing? why do you suggest this?

 

[Zelandakh]

if your temp folder is on a different partition, C won't fill up...

Check event log and find out what is happening. Check ESM to see if someone's mailbox is filling fast - sort out user. If nothing is filling up, run a manual virus scan on your Exchange store (and separately your server but watch for the Exchange folders).

Try ProcessExplorer.exe by

http://www.sysinternals.com

or NTLfilemon.exe by them again and see what is using the file
